Episode 36: To The Stars (Final)
As they prepare a counterattack
against the Zentraedi warlord, Admiral Gloval promotes Lisa Hayes to the rank of
captain of the new SDF-2. Before she takes command, Lisa finally gathers the
courage to tell Rick how she feels about him. In the midst of battle, Rick
confronts his own feelings for both Lisa and Minmei. He discovers that it’s
Lisa he loves after all. He leaves Minmei behind as he and Lisa race to their
battle stations.
On board the repaired SDF-1, Gloval makes a final desperate stand against Khyron
the Destroyer. A crowd gathers and cheers as the battlefortress soars into the
sky. The SDF-1 only has enough power for one shot. The blast cripples Khyron’s
ship and the SDF-1, its power depleted, crashes on the planet’s surface, its
fall cushioned by water. Khyron knows the fallen vessel can’t erect a defense
barrier without power. In their lust for total annihilation, Khyron and Azonia
lock their ship’s guidance system into a head-on collision with the helpless
battlefortress. The impact destroys the SDF-1, the SDF-2, and Khyron as well.
Rick finds Lisa after the crash. At the last minute, Gloval had managed to shove
her into one of the ejection modules. She is the holocaust’s only survivor.
Saddened by the loss of their friends and shipmates, they decide to build a new
life for themselves and the people of Earth. Rick and Lisa plan to oversee
construction of a new SDF-3 so that future generations can join them in their
journey to the stars.
